As far as I know in HD channel, there are no ads at all... Only their other show promos are shown... Then why should the channel need advertisers?

Zoya, a very small proportion of audience has HD channels subscribed while a major portion still watches the normal channels. So advertisers pay a huge role.

Even if it is not for the advertisers, then atleast these TRPs will help the makers know if their track is being liked by the audience or not. They won't continue to show crap even if TRPs fall to 0.4 or 0.5. They are making the show for audience and if they are not liking the show, then what's the fun? High TRPs even give a feeling of satisfaction to the writers, actors and the crew that their hard work is being appreciated😃

Loyal audience like me wait hopefully for this track to end. Even I don't watch it regularly on TV. Read the update and watch online if it is worth. After the Saturday fiasco I missed SR episode on TV. If I m sure meera and bhai are here to stay and rishbala is no longer the solo lead of MB or Madhu takes SUllu's side with that soft wide eyed looks I will quit the show. So it depends about how this track is handled. Trp erosion will be slow but sure. Meera is equally irritating with that pink toy. Who are they kidding? are we fools to sympathize such clunky characters.Audience who came back for the show would have stayed if the wedding was an exclusive affair of RM. Instead they got hints of what was to follow. The most waited wedding of the lead couple was interrupted with another stupid parallel story totally spoiling the mood and beauty of it ..It was a bold declaration of Channel/PH that RM story is over with wedding.MB is all about RM. We put up with all their experiments starting from the weird wedding to unwedding and R.K"s. psychopathy since it was about RM. Not anymore. It is too late to change that face of the show.

true ! Meera is as unconvincing as Bhai...why should we sympathize with her plight? is she mad from any angle? within 24 hours, she was fine in Sultan's company..gangster gangster nahi hai, pagal pagal nahi hai, ma ma jaise nahi rehti, biwi biwi ki tarah nahi rehti 😆 we have SOME expectation from each one of them (else why are we wasting our time analyzing them and the story?) and expect them to behave in a certain way given their characteristics , but they always show the opposite..it's all so frustrating and this clunk surrounding Sultan🤢

Frankly the show is on its way to the dumps, and I couldn't be even bothered with the TRPs any longer! I'm personally hoping DD or VD quits, thus putting all of us out of our misery once n for all!

PS: Sorry for the rant! Couldn't help it!

Thanks ClosetRomantic and Zoya for the TRP news. And all - interesting thoughts and commentary on the TRP drop from page 120-123.

TRPs:

MB TRPs went down from 2.5 to 2.4. The show is at #9 position vs. #8 the week prior. There were two #4s, and two #8s this week.

See chart below for MB weekly trends:

Note: does not take into consideration impact of adding new markets at various points. Size of these markets, viewing patterns, demographics, and level of digitization etc. of those markets would impact TRPs. Also, hard to judge IPL's exact impact.

The overall TRPs for the week demonstrate the effect of the viewership of the culmination of the wedding (awesome Suhag Raat on Monday, which would have had a positive effect on Tuesday); the face-off on Friday that was well promoted; combined with some ho-hum episodes focused on the Bhai Bhai track. Since we don't have the daily breakdown as yet, I'm going to use the number of page views and posts on the EDT as a very very rough proxy - seems like there was a pretty high level of interest (starting with positively euphoric on Monday, turning to downright gloomy and negative on Saturday) during the week. So am not surprised that TRPs didn't go down all that much compared to the week prior - people were still watching. BTW, the week prior, if you recall, even though it was the wedding week, there was quite ample screen space devoted to the other track.

However, TRPs next week should be particularly interesting - with the absence of special Rishbala episodes, the Bhai track in full swing, and viewer confusion/ambivalence right now about Madhu's behavior. If current TRP trends are any indication at all, seems like the CVs are going to have a progressively smaller margin for peculiar experiments in the future.

And a comparison to other top 10 shows. TRPs for top shows were a mixed bag, with some shows increasing substantially, and some shows decreasing compared to the week prior. MB TRPs dropped slightly compared to the previous week. It is now at #9, retaining its position in the top 10 because of two #4s and two #8s.

The two charts below show: 1) Top 10 shows TRPs (MB is yellow) and 2) TRP increase/drop for those shows, compared to the week prior. The blue bars on the second chart are the ones that did better, the red are the ones that did worse, and the no bars are the ones that were the same.

PS: all my usual caveats apply - this is a rough analysis etc. etc. Feel free to weigh in and point out the holes (I freely admit there's probably some!) 😊

Me too! As it is, I'm having a tough time hanging in there.

BTW - I really wonder what the PH, Channel and CVs are thinking. They don't care about internet viewer feedback, they apparently don't seem to care about their TV viewer feedback (TRPs). So who do they actually care about?

And another thing - earlier on, the tracks used to be wrapped up super fast, the show had this awesome momentum. And now, seems like they are totally dragging the pace.

But super fast miracles happen overnight in this track. In MB land it is only 2 days since marriage and a 30 year old kahaani has been unfold. Imagine how much we have to bear if it is for 2 months in MB land. After SR we have got only 7 episodes I am already very tired and feel old.😆

They care about proving (to whom?) their show's success is not due to the leads esp male and tireless in their effort to establish Bhai as an alternate to R.K.

😆 😆😆

Sometimes I feel like this is a diabolically fiendish game of "Get Rid Of All Viewers Who Used to Love The Show" that they are playing with us. For all of us hardcore fans who don't get the message and switch off on our own, they will exterminate us slowly, painfully and agonizingly by making us watch this...

If you go onto any social media, FB or Twitter, majority of the people do not like this track, they are literally begging for Madhu to support RK and not talk to Sultan (comments like who is sultan, why should she choose etc etc).

What kind of stubbornness is this that they are refusing to listen to feedback. i really wonder what they are doing to their own show.
